Association of angiotensinogen gene T235 variant with progression of immunoglobin A nephropathy in Caucasian patients.
Genetic variability in the renin-angiotensin system may modify renal responses to injury and disease progression. We examined whether the M235T polymorphism of the angiotensinogen (AGT) gene, the insertion/deletion polymorphism of the angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) gene, and the A1166--> C polymorphism of the angiotensin II type 1 receptor gene may be associated with disease progression in...
متن کاملPathogenesis of IgA nephropathy.
IgA nephropathy (IgAN) is initiated by glomerular deposition of polymeric IgA1(pIgA1). In IgAN pIgA production is reduced in the mucosal immune system, perhaps mediated by a mucosal gamma delta T cell defect, and mucosal IgA responses to immunisation are impaired. But pIgA1 production by the marrow is increased. Human pIgA1 has an O-glycosylated hinge region unique to circulating immunoglobulin...
متن کاملPathogenesis of diabetic nephropathy
As the increasing prevalence of diabetes reaches epidemic proportions worldwide, diabetic nephropathy and associated end-stage renal failure will be an unavoidable major health burden to not only individuals with diabetes and their families, but also to the health systems both in developed and developing countries. Over the past decade, a large body of research has focused on diabetic nephropat...
متن کاملPathogenesis of IgA nephropathy.
Immunoglobulin A (IgA) nephropathy is an immune-complex-mediated glomerulonephritis characterized by the presence of immunoglobulin A deposits in mesangial and paramesangial regions. The patients with IgA nephropathy present with varying clinical symptoms (eg, microhematuria with preserved renal function or progressive deterioration of renal functions resulting in end-stage renal disease). The ...
